About Us
The launch of 216 Consulting Group was initially inspired by our founder's son, who at the time was a Division 3 baseball player, and focused on his post grad career. Faced with the decision to play summer college baseball or pursue a future-focused internship, and watching nearly all of his teammates heading to Wall Street for internships, and not being certain about what was next for him, he chose to do both. Deploying the approach above, and then going on to play Division 1 baseball as well, he has since begun his first job in NYC. Since supporting multiple other D1, D2 and D3 athletes in their career planning journey, while also consulting dozens and dozen of blue chip brands over the past two decades, 216 Consulting Group is prepared to support your needs.
